Ajiu

Chapter 171-Ambition
The emperor was fat and afraid of the heat, so he usually went to Nantai to escape the heat in midsummer, and this year was no exception.Nantai is located in the Taiye Pond in the Xiyuan of the imperial city, facing water on all sides, the mist is vast, and it is quite cool. The scenery is beautiful and pleasant.

When the emperor went to Nantai to escape the summer heat, he did not take any of the concubines with him. Apart from the maids and guards, there were also the twelve and thirteen princes by his side.Empress Zhang is very worried about this. He is old, his ears are soft, and his mind is changeable. If he regenerates the heart of easy storage... When the crown prince came to Kunning Palace to pay his respects, Empress Zhang hinted that he should be extra careful, "Twelve, 13 is still young, how can you serve your royal father well?" The crown prince pretended not to understand, and smiled perfunctorily, "The queen mother is too worried, and the two younger brothers are not too young." Queen Zhang also smiled, "As the king of the country Vice lord, you have to be extra diligent." Crown Prince Weiwei.

"Actually, I know what she is worried about, and I can definitely comfort her with a few words to ease her heart." The crown prince left the Kunning Palace, feeling lost in his heart, "But I don't, I don't want to, I just don't want to. "

It's not that she doesn't love her own son, it's just that there are too many interest factors mixed in. "How can you treat your own child like this." The crown prince thought of the past, his chest was cold, and he shivered in the midsummer heat.

The crown prince returned to the East Palace after a busy day, holding Xiao Zhengzheng affectionately, caring and loving.Ajiu sensed that he was in a different mood, and looked at him with inquiring eyes, "Brother Ten, what's wrong with you?" The Crown Prince was a little surprised, "Little Junior Sister, do you know that Brother Ten is in a bad mood? Brother Ten is obviously smiling all the time."

Ajiu reproached softly, "Brother Ten, I am your wife." We are so close, how could you hide your emotions from me?
The crown prince was full of gratitude, grabbed her little hand and kissed it, "Young junior sister is so kind." Lan Zhihui's kind junior junior sister, gentle and considerate junior junior sister, and understanding junior junior sister.

The crown prince kissed the younger junior sister, and smiled slightly, "Brother Ten was a little unhappy just now, but now he is all well." With you, all is well.Junior sister, tenth brother will definitely tell you if there is a good thing, if there is a bad thing, tenth brother is willing to chew it in silence, and he doesn't want to tell you.Brother Ten wants you to live happily, just like at Pei's house.

Ajiu smiled lightly, "The gloom between your brows has gradually disappeared, and your smile has a warm meaning. Brother Ten, I like you like this." You have something on your mind, it's nothing, who wouldn't have something on your mind; don't want to say , It’s nothing, people always have privacy, even the closest people, some things can’t be said; when you don’t want to talk, I won’t ask, if you want to talk, I’m always by your side.

The little Zhengzheng in the crown prince's arms concentrated on playing with his little hand, stretching it out for a while, and holding it for a while. After playing for a few times, he smiled with a sense of accomplishment, said "ahhh", and let his parents look proudly.Ajiu and the crown prince were full of praise, "Xiaozheng is so flexible in his forehand, really capable!" Xiaozheng was leaning comfortably on his father's chest, raising his little arms, opening and closing his palms, playing and listening The parents applauded and applauded hard, and they were contented.

"Father said he misses Xiao Zhengzheng, let's carry Xiao Zhengzheng over there." The crown prince suddenly thought of an important matter.The emperor lived in Nantai, and he often summoned his ministers, and the crown prince had to go there every day to report on important military and state affairs. The emperor had orders and could execute them at any time.

"Of course you can hug him, but you have to hug him back at night." Ajiu smiled at Mimi, "Also, after two or three years old, dad can take Xiao Zhengzheng away, and he will return it at night."

Kindergarten can be sent, but day care is fine, full-time care is not.If you don't see your son at night, you won't be able to sleep.

"That's natural." The crown prince nodded, "Xiao Zhengzheng is not allowed to leave us until he is six years old." It is only natural for children to follow their parents.

Ajiu smiled and begged, "Brother Ten, when you meet your father tomorrow, can you bring up the marriage between Brother Seven and Antai? And third aunt is still in a hurry."

The marriage between Seventh Brother and Antai was originally a matter between the Pei family and Xiping's Changping Mansion.But the emperor's uncle insisted on intervening, "Antai is still young." Princess Xiping naturally listened to her emperor's brother, and the seventh brother had to wait.

"Sure, I'll tell dad." The crown prince agreed, laughing, "little junior sister, I can already imagine how dad will react. Dad will be angry, 'Xiao Shi, what were you like back then? What? Let the Pei family wait.'"

Mentioning the emperor's father's childishness, the young couple couldn't help laughing and looked at each other and smiled.It's not easy for his little ten to marry a girl from the Pei family, and if the boy from the Pei family wants to marry his niece, he can't easily succeed.Just wait, impatient, don't want to marry a good wife.

"I didn't expect Dad to agree just like that. However, after urging and asking for instructions a few more times, Dad's heart gradually softened. After a year or so, Brother Seven will be able to get his wish." Ajiu laughed said.

The crown prince thought so.

Ajiu kissed her son's delicate face, "Son, baby, your seventh uncle is about to marry you an aunt, are you happy? And your sixth aunt is about to marry you a little cousin. Then you Play with your little cousin, okay?"

Xiaozheng muttered a few times, Ah Jiu and the crown prince listened with their ears open, but they didn't understand what he was talking about.Adults don't understand the baby's language.

"Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-Law will definitely add a little cousin to Xiao Zhengzheng, is it possible to be a little cousin?" the crown prince asked casually.

Ajiu laughed aloud, "Sister-in-law Six is ​​very ambitious, and she actually told her mother that she wants to have a daughter. Brother Ten, with the feng shui of my family, she wants a daughter and has to wait. It's not that easy. I But there are eight older brothers."

There is only one Ajiu after eight older brothers. Wen Ya, you want to have a daughter for the first time, and you are too overthinking.

The crown prince felt very regretful, "It's nice to be a little girl, my son can play with my little cousin, my childhood sweetheart grows up..." Ajiu was taken aback, "I can't do it with my little cousin, the blood relationship is too close." I thought What, even if the sixth brother and the sixth sister-in-law really have a little girl, the son can't be like the cousin, close relatives.

"Besides, my family has already produced a concubine, and it is impossible for another concubine to be a grandson." Ajiu added.

The crown prince thought about it too, so he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​getting closer.

This thought died down, and that thought came up again, "Junior Sister, let's have a daughter." The crown prince begged softly, "Brother Ten thinks of your cute appearance when you were young, and your heart itch."

Ah Jiu also felt tempted to give birth to a little girl and make another copy of herself?Very interesting. "Success." Ajiu nodded shyly with a pink face.

The crown prince's heart was pounding, the little junior sister was so beautiful, so touching...

The young couple had a great evening.

The next day the crown prince and Ajiu took Xiao Zhengzheng to Nantai personally. "Son, your grandfather, His Majesty the Emperor, misses you, so I carried you over to show him, okay?" Ajiu spoke softly to Xiao Zhengzheng, and Xiao Zhengzheng smiled reservedly, as if knowing It seems that I am very respected.He smiled lightly and cheerfully, Ah Jiu and the Crown Prince saw it and were fascinated.

The tallest building in Nantai is Penglai Pavilion, on which there is an elegant tea room. Sitting here and tasting tea by the sea, the scenery is beautiful and the breeze is gentle, which is a great enjoyment.The emperor was sitting idle in the tea room with the twelfth and thirteenth princes, discussing about going fishing. Hearing that the grandson of the emperor had arrived, he lifted his spirits and said, "I won't go fishing anymore, hug my grandson." With a grandson to hug, what kind of fish did you catch? ah.

The thirteenth prince, who resembled the emperor, complained, "Once the grandson of the emperor comes, you won't see my little son anymore." Stomach, "Well, I'm jealous. I'm jealous of the emperor's grandson, he's handsomer than me." The emperor laughed out loud at him.

The crown prince's family of three came in and saluted the emperor. The twelfth and thirteenth princes also met their brothers and sisters and took their seats.The crown prince and Ajiu really felt the heat all the way here, and when they arrived at Nantai, they felt a sense of coolness rushing over their faces, and after entering the Penglai Pavilion, it was even more like entering a fairyland. "The emperor's father will enjoy it." Ajiu and the crown prince sat drinking tea by the window, feeling emotional in their hearts.

The emperor hugged Xiao Zhengzheng, smiled and told him, "Does Xiao Zhengzheng know anyone? Hey, this is your twelfth uncle. He also likes you very much. He wanted to pick you up just now. This is your ten-year-old uncle." Third uncle, he is jealous of your handsome looks." The thirteenth prince blushed.

Xiaozheng smiled politely, as if greeting someone.The emperor couldn't love him enough, "Xiao Shisan, look at how cute your little nephew is, are you still jealous of him?" The thirteenth prince said jokingly, "When I saw my little nephew, I just fell in love with him."

The emperor smiled, and asked Xiao Zhengzheng softly, "Grandfather is cool and refreshing here, so Xiao Zhengzheng will stay here too, okay?" .

"Father, when Xiao Zhengzheng calls your grandfather, His Majesty the Emperor, he can stay and accompany you." The Crown Prince put down the teacup with a serious expression on his face, "Accompany you during the day, and we will take you back at night."

The emperor gave him a blank look.

The thirteenth prince was curious, "When will he be called Grandfather, His Majesty the Emperor?" The Crown Prince smiled, "When he was in his early one year old, he would probably be called Grandpa, but if he wanted to call him His Majesty, he would have to be more than two years old. "

"There are still two years." The twelfth prince and the thirteenth prince said in unison.

For two years, they looked at the emperor with sympathy.

"Little Twelve, Little Thirteen, you go fishing." The emperor said angrily.

The twelfth and thirteenth princes saw that the situation was not going well, so they agreed cleverly and slipped away.

"Xiao Shi, come here, Dad has something to tell you." The emperor snorted angrily.

The crown prince had no choice but to stand up, and slowly walked two steps away from the emperor, "Father, in front of my son, you can't...you want to be gentle." Ajiu followed, with a flattering smile on her face , "Father, if you feel uncomfortable, it's okay to move your hands. You give me Xiao Zhengzheng, and then you...do whatever you want."

The emperor was depressed, "Ajiu, don't you love him?" Ajiu smiled more attentively, "He is your own, not picked, don't you love him more than I do? Dad, I mean Give me Xiaozheng, and let Brother Ten accompany you to exercise your muscles."

"It's still Ajiu who can talk." The emperor nodded in satisfaction, expressing his approval.

"A good wife and husband will bring less misfortune." The crown prince heaved a sigh of relief, "With my junior sister, I don't have to be beaten."

He exaggeratedly made a bow to Ajiu, but others were fine, Xiaozheng was giggling, looking very happy.

The emperor was also very happy to see his precious grandson laughing uncontrollably.

"It's not good, the thirteenth prince has fallen into the water." The servant's sharp shout came from outside the pavilion.

Nantai is a quiet place, if there is any movement on the water, it can be heard in Penglai Pavilion.When this sharp shout came, the emperor's face turned pale, and the crown prince quickly hugged Xiao Zhengzheng from his arms, and handed it to Ah Jiu, "Little junior sister, you sit with dad, I'll go down and have a look." Helping the emperor to sit down, "don't worry, father, little thirteen auspicious people, he must be fine, just wait, I will bring him back immediately."

The Crown Prince quickly left the Penglai Pavilion.

The emperor murmured, "Xiao Shisan doesn't know water, he doesn't know water..."

Ajiu herself was startled, she subconsciously patted Xiao Zhengzheng, and said softly: "Father, Xiao Shisan is a blessed child, he will be fine, don't worry."

Xiaozheng was keeping a straight face, very serious.Ajiu was worried for a while, son, aren't you scared?The scream just now was really sharp and terrifying.You're only a little older, and you can't bear to be frightened the most... Ah Jiu hugged Xiao Zhengzheng even tighter.

There were crowds of people by the water, and the servants and guards ran to the water one after another, and many people who knew how to swim jumped into the water.

After an unknown amount of time, cheers sounded from the water's edge, "I've been rescued, I've been rescued."

The crown prince walked up quickly and knelt down in front of the emperor, "Father, Xiao Shisan was rescued. He was a little frightened, but he's fine." The emperor tremblingly stretched out his hand and patted the crown prince, "It's all right It's fine, it's fine."

The crown prince was drenched with sweat, and it was really uncomfortable to be slapped like this by the emperor. "Poor dad." He looked at the emperor's suddenly aging face, feeling sore in his heart, and dared not move.

The twelfth prince was crying, and the servants carried the pale thirteenth prince up.

"Little Shisan, how are you?" the emperor asked tremblingly.The crown prince also hurriedly stood up and walked to the side of the thirteenth prince, "Brother, are you feeling better?"

"It's nothing." The thirteenth prince lowered his head in shame, and muttered in a low voice, "It's nothing else, just drank a lot of water, it's uncomfortable."

The emperor looked at it carefully, and seeing that his youngest son was not in danger of life, he put on a straight face, "What's going on? All right, why did he fall into the water?"

As soon as the emperor asked, all the servants around the thirteenth prince knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.The thirteenth prince's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "It's none of their business, it's me...accidentally..."

He and the Twelfth Prince went fishing, but the two brothers had a disagreement, so they simply separated, you catch yours, I catch mine, no one can hinder the other.The twelfth prince is very smooth today, one, one, and another, but he is unlucky, and he doesn't even have a stick.He felt ashamed, and scolded the waiter for bad bait for a while, and for the fishing rod that the waiter brought him was not good, changed the bait, changed the fishing rod, and threw the waiter out.In the end, the Twelfth Prince caught a big fish, stood up proudly and showed it off to him, but he threw the fishing rod angrily, "What's the big deal?" He slipped and fell...

"Fortunately, my cousin saved me." The thirteenth prince knew that he was ignorant, fearing that the emperor would blame him, he hurriedly talked about him.

"Which cousin?" The emperor said with a dark face.

"Brother Chen, he is my uncle's son, who works in the Jinwu Guard, do you know him?" The thirteenth prince mentioned the man who brought him ashore, his eyes lit up.

The imperial doctor came in a hurry with a medicine box on his back.The emperor didn't care about anything else, "What kind of ceremony are you doing? Come on, let's take a look for the thirteenth prince." The imperial doctor checked the pulse of the thirteenth prince, and said: "I will take care of him for three or two months, and he will recover."

The emperor was relieved.

When the thirteenth prince heard that the emperor ordered him to go back to recuperate, he happily thanked him, urged his servants to carry him, and hurried away, "At least I won't be held accountable today, alas, hiding for a day is a day." The twelve prince shrank Not daring to make a sound in the corner, the emperor frowned, "When the two brothers go out together, shouldn't they support each other and love each other? Little Twelve, you are an older brother, so you must be gracious." The Twelfth Prince knelt down and admitted his mistake, " Yes, I won’t dare again.” The emperor sighed, “You are too scared, go back and rest.” The twelve princes kowtowed and retreated quietly.

"Unlucky boy." The emperor said sullenly, "Looking at them, I feel that I dare not grow old, dare not get sick, and dare not relax."

The son has not yet grown up, is not yet sensible, and the father will not be able to close his eyes when he dies.

The crown prince and Ajiu stood together, looking at Xiao Zhengzheng carefully.Son, why don't you smile, why do you keep a straight face?Are you unhappy, or...?
"Son, are you not scared?" the crown prince asked softly.

The emperor turned his head suddenly, scared?Xiaozheng was scared?
